Anathema Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Duke, the graphics aren't much better then in Medieval: Total War and the sys specs are definitely not worth the slightly better graphics.And from what I read here, the graphics are the only good thing about it.
Edric O Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 And from what I read here, the graphics are the only good thing about it.Indeed... and you can't even rotate.
Anathema Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 That...is just...dumb. Makes the camera mode in WCIII look good.
Terror Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 hmmm, perhaps we are being a bit overcritisized now? I haven't played it so i wouldn't know. But the game has many good reviews, and aren't you guys all trying to protect emperor?
Edric O Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 I'm not. Emperor is old.And the game has good reviews because of the graphics and all the pretty special effects...
Terror Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 well, don't think that every reviewer is stupid and that you do know about gameplay. They too look at gameplay. and they rated that pretty high as well. And also my friend realy liked the game, so ok perhaps you do not like it, but that does not have to mean that the game sux, as there are so many people who think otherwise.
Edric O Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Reviewing a game is a very subjective process.*I* think it utterly sucks. Other people might think differently. It's all a matter of opinion and it depends on your idea of fun.For me one of the most important things in a game is a good story. Generals has no story whatsoever. Therefore I think it sucks. (there are other reasons too, but that's the main one)
rogue1896 Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 screw generals. from what i'm hearing it sucks immensely, and on top of that my computer can't even run it. and also it'll cost me $50 to buy it. i'm not about to waste my money and my time on a game i won't even play. so i say again, screw generals, i'm buying MoO3! ;D
Apollyon Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 I like Generals... there I said it, from a technical viewpoint its really very well thought out and constructed (IMO) and yes Edric you can rotate lol. use the numpad keys ;). I love the way the GLA can upgrade units by picking up wreckage, I love the upgrades the Overlord can get, I just quite like the game. Admittedly, however, the *gameplay* is not as good as emperors but this has nothing to do with the game engine at least.
Apollyon Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Despite that.... MASTER OF ORION YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! ;D
Khan Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Man generals kicks emperors ass online!!Vive le Generals!!
DukeLeto Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 *I* loooove Generals...One of my favoirite RTS titles. But I care very little about purdy cutscenes and a SP story. It has a great Skirmish mode, so I'm happy. But like Edric said, I guess it's just a matter of opinion.(Note: Most reviewers loved it.)
lowzeewee Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 generals makes the USA army look SUDDENLY smarter than terrorist,since when did the USA army and government become so smart lol
lowzeewee Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 it has no storyline,its just kill this person,that person,destroy this base,like terrorists can only be killed by brute force lol.reviewers like gamerPC.com or whatever were paid to give such reviews,every game hAS reviewers bribed to give 4->5 stars for it
Apollyon Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 I haven't even tried the campaign element yet, It just doesnt interest me.
Terror Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 ... well at least it has a kickass website! 8)
Apollyon Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 generals is a gay game,it is lamethats just a matter of opinion, just because you don't like it doesnt mean noone else will.
Edric O Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Yes, exactly. It depends on what you like in a game.I also hate Generals, but I understand that this is just my opinion, and other people might see things differently.
Apollyon Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 There are several things I dislike like the slowness of moving across the map and the lack of really significant strategy but I'm willing to overlook it as I can mod it.
DukeLeto Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Your units are slow too? I thought it was just my comp... ???
Frodo Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 if the tanks are slow, then think in reality, will they move as fast as laser tanks? todays tanks aren't really the fastest things.
Edric O Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 And that's what the GLA tunnels are for... he he he. ;)
DukeLeto Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Yeah, and I guess it makes sense that infantry are even slower...*wake up, Duke!*
